i like the show tibs because its in looks that the tiburon is better then other cars, because in the speed class we start off at the bottom. BUT IN LOOKS THE TIB STARTS OFF RIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST!

so props to u suicide door guy, your hero in my book

I like the paint job inside and out looks realy nice, the doors are cool, love the body kit.

I know everyones got different tastes but i think the rims are a bit to bling bling and the red carpet reminds me of ( now please don't take this the wrong way) of a whore house, but thats just my opinion, everything else looks tight.

I tried unsuccessfully to sell it. I also hve it for sale on www.mautofied.com as well as a few other places. Yeah... I started this thing out at 6500.00 on ebay and got close to 600 watchers, over 60 questions, 8 people came and looked at it, 3 drove it, no one bid on it... I just didn't understand.

I know alot of people don't like the wheels, but I've always been into big choppy wheels. I have had big chromies on most every car I've owned. I couldn't leave this one out. Plus my friends told me I couldn't get 18" lexani's on my car. I had to prove them wrong.

I've also have seen the hood on a website for 450.00 plus 210.00 s&h to residential address (660.00) but after reading their reviews i found that they weren't carbon fiber through and through. It was like a metal frame with a carbon fiber top and I kinda wanted the real thing.

Carpet...??? Yeah... it's coming out!! I'm not a big fan of it myself! Quite frankly... I hate it! I friend of mine put it on his floors and doors in his prelude and it looked great! It's just to shagadelic for me though.

Thanks for all the coments and compliments! I appreciate it! Keep it comin'!

Problem with rims like that is the weight. The MOST weight you want to get rid of is rotational weight, and 30 pound rims just don't cut it. ESPECIALLY with you looking to INCREASE your performance.

The rims, coupled with the automatic, definately would be a reason anyone that drove it wouldn't want to buy it. Slow, sluggish, I probably wouldn't either. I bought my 5 speed because of the potential I saw in it and how good the stock body looked.

Yeah.. this is the showoff section and it was made to be a SHOWCAR! Not a RACECAR! So please lay off of me! You have been posting on every thing that I have started and I'm startig to get offended, I don't come look at your post and say how crappy the fenders look and how bad they fit and that the F1 vents don't cool the breaks enough or maybe the aerodynamics add 3hp? I take pride in the way I want to make my Tib look and the work I put into the body is just as extensive as you put in the engine of your tib. And the part about no one wanting it because it is a slow sluggish automatic really don't make much sence! Your tib would probably get the same type of reaction if you tryed to sell it. Just a bunch of motor work but it's still a tiburon. At the end of the the day they are both just Tiburon's! That is how this all started! It was just a tib that was a slow sluggish car with a few curves and comfortable seats! You just happened to want to make yours rather fast, I just happened to want to make mine rather nice looking. SO maybe we can meet a common ground here or do you just want me to leave these forums and not come back? Obviously I'm on your turf and if you don't want me here, just tell me and I'll leave! But if you want to let me stay and get some knowledge and see what else is out there for my tib, then lay off my back a little...
